- Biden’s nominations signal a focus on crypto expertise, as seen in Christy Goldsmith Romero’s potential move from the CFTC to FDIC chair.
- Kristin Johnson’s Treasury role shift underscores a strategic regulatory realignment, impacting oversight of financial institutions.
- Amid election year scrutiny, Biden’s financial policy leadership changes reflect his administration’s complex stance on digital currencies.
United States President Joe Biden has plans to replace officials overseeing financial policy with his latest selections for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Treasury Department, and Financial Stability Oversight Council.
In an announcement on June 13, the White House mentioned that President Biden is nominating Christy Goldsmith Romero of CFTC to replace FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg. He also intends to have the CFTC Commissioner Kristin Johnson transition to the Treasury Department where he will be the next Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions; Caroline Crenshaw to stay on as a commissioner at the SEC.
At present, Romero has not only been working as a CFTC commissioner since March 2022 but he was nominated by Biden, who he is considered to be one of the most crypto-friendly people in CFTC. One can wonder if her nomination to be FDIC chair is more of the consequence of her expertise in securities and cryptocurrencies than it is due to filling the leadership role Gruenberg vacated. Then in May, a soon-to-be former FDIC chair committed to step down after charges of acts of workplace, including S****l harassment and discrimination. Advertisement

Romero was already signifying his exit from the CFTC in April this year while Johnson would have been able to continue until 2025 had he been allowed to stay on. President Biden also said he intended to nominate Hawaii Insurance Commissioner Gordon Ito to serve on the FSOC. All the nominations will be voted in the Senate if presented to it as provided in this constitution.
The leadership potential nominations at the important financial regulatory agencies come in an election year in the U.S. Voters consider how this government looks at digital currency, as can be seen. Some of the critics of the current president, Joe Biden, have noted his anti-crypto policies for instance, vetoing a Congressional resolution that seeks to reverse the SEC rules disallowing a bank to host digital currencies.
